| Ron Howard’s latest film has the misfortune of following the superior
Oscar-nominated The Truman Show. The similarities are numerous, and
when the inevitable comparisons are made, EdTV comes up short. Really

| Instant fame is a dream of many, but at what cost does it come?
Director Ron Howard's latest film, Ed TV, takes a critical look at the
